It is qualified to meet the stringent standards of the oil and gas industry and has earned a solid reputation in both onshore and offshore service. The SGT-A35 fleet has matured over 37 million hours in service.

The GT30 variant is the latest evolution in a portfolio continuously improved over 40 years of technology development. Utilizing components already proven in industrial, marine and aerospace service, the SGT-A35 (GT30) offers class-leading power density for power generation and mechanical drive applications. The efficient SGT-A35 gas turbine, with Rolls-Royce aero engine technology, is integrated in a compact, lightweight and highly maintainable package designed for oil and gas applications by Dresser-Rand, now a Siemens business.

Highlights of the SGT-A35 (Industrial RB211) gas turbine

Flexible application match

The SGT-A35 portfolio includes 2 variants of gas generators and 3 variants of free power turbines, allowing multiple combinations with power output ranging between 28 and 38 MW in mechanical drive, and different drive-shaft speed. Each variant is available with or without Dry Low Emissions (DLE) combustion and can be configured for electrical generation or mechanical drive, onshore or offshore. Such a diverse portfolio ensures that the gas turbine can be ideally matched to your requirements of each application.

Vast experience, trusted performance

The SGT-A35 has earned the trust of operators in a large spectrum of applications, in the power industry as well as in oil and gas. The SGT-A35 legacy spans over 40 years of continuous improvement through the incremental injection of aero engine technology. Over 790 SGT-A35 units have been sold to date, accumulating a service experience of over 37 million operating hours. The SGT-A35 is regarded as class leaders for their reliability.

No “hot lock-out” periods

All variants of the SGT-A35 can be restarted at any time following a shutdown from any condition, without any delay due to "hot lockout" conditions. Unlike some of its competitors, the SGT-A35 can achieve this reliably by inherent design. Thanks to its agile twin-spool architecture, the SGT-A35 provides the most robust solution to restoring power quickly when its availability is most critical.

Evolved from proven components

The SGT-A35 (GT30 34MW and GT30 38MW) is the latest evolution in the portfolio, introducing a lightweight free power turbine coupled to the proven gas generator. It utilizes proven components with millions of service hours in the Siemens Industrial Trent as well as the Rolls-Royce Aerospace and Marine Trent products. The output speed is optimized for direct drive of an electrical generator at either 60 Hz or 50 Hz with no need for a gearbox.
The SGT-A35 (GT30) can also be utilized in mechanical drive applications, making it one of the most flexible gas turbines in its range. Its performance is optimized for hot climates, delivering significantly more power at 30 °C than its predecessors.

Combining the best in the industry for oil and gas

The SGT-A35 brings to oil and gas operators the trusted technologies acquired by Siemens through the recent additions of Dresser-Rand and the Rolls-Royce Energy aeroderivative gas turbine portfolio. The reliable SGT-A35 gas turbines, with over 790 units supporting oil and gas operations worldwide, are now packaged with the oil and gas expertise of Dresser-Rand, which has supplied over 1,000 units to the oil and gas industry over the years.
The SGT-A35 package leverages the best designs and know-how of two trusted names in the oil and gas industry to produce superior customer value.

Ingenious design to the core

The SGT-A35 uses an aeroderivative, 2-spool gas generator aerodynamically coupled to a free power turbine. Two variants of gas generators and three variants of power turbines are available to perfectly match your requirements in each application.
The 2-spool architecture allows maximum operational flexibility, resulting in a gas turbine with high tolerance to transient excursions and challenging mission cycles, fast starting and with no "hot lockouts". All variants can operate on gaseous and liquid fuel, and can be configured with an optional Dry Low Emission (DLE) combustor.

Well proven in all environments

The SGT-A35 is the result of over 40 years of technological innovation. Utilizing Rolls-Royce aero engine technology with millions of operating hours accumulated in flight, the SGT-A35 has built a vast experience base of their own with over 37 million hours operating in power generation and mechanical drive service, onshore and offshore and in the most challenging environments.

Robust and seaworthy

The SGT-A35 (Industrial RB211 GT30) power turbine is also used in the Rolls-Royce Marine MT30 gas turbine, with operating experience in military naval service. The other components of the SGT-A35 gas turbines are already well proven in offshore applications, with over 15 million operating hours accumulated in fixed and floating offshore installations.

SGT-A35 (Industrial RB211) package

Fit-for-purpose packaging features, and configurable options have been demonstrated across various oil and gas applications. Choices in mechanical systems, instrumentation, electrical devices, and materials cater to a range of international and API standards, environmental conditions, facility cooling schemes, and availability requirements.

SGT-A35 (GT30) package: optimized for offshore

The lightweight SGT-A35 (GT30) gas turbine is integrated into the compact Dresser-Rand package, proven in offshore oil and gas applications.
The result is a product that offers you a minimal footprint and the highest power density in its class to maximize production while reducing topside weight; therefore lowering upfront capital investment and increasing long-term value creation.
All this while preserving the reliability of designs proven in service and compliant to the requirements of offshore oil and gas applications, including floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels.

The unit addresses the need for more cost-effective solutions for the offshore oil and gas industry by increasing the power density of the topside power generating equipment, thus reducing the required space claim. The lightweight, aeroderivative gas turbine can generate up to 38 MW and is integrated into a compact, lightweight Dresser-Rand package, which is up to 30 percent smaller and lighter than its predecessors.
